What the accounts disclose
“We received £20,000 from National Lottery Fund” — page 4
“It costs between £2000 and £3000 per year to run Stone Community First Responders and we aim to bring in excess of this amount in fundraising every year so when the car needs replacing in 8-10 years our next application to the National Lottery will be a last resort.” — page 5
